  • Escape to The BeesKnees Glamping Holidays - a charming retreat set in the heart of the breathtaking Yorkshire countryside.
Tucked away between the gentle murmurs of the newborn River Don and the peaceful expanse of the Trans Pennine Trail, our glamping site offers direct access to stunning walking and cycling routes, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature at your own pace. ​Small, family-run, and delightfully intimate, we offer just three exclusive bell tent and shepherd hut units, ensuring a tranquil hideaway from the demands of daily life. Despite our secluded setting, you're only a stone’s throw from the vibrant market towns of Holmfirth and Penistone, where local charm and heritage await. Come and experience the perfect balance of rural serenity and warm hospitality at The BeesKnees Glamping Site.

Local attractions

Whilst it's so beautiful here you may just want to stay on site and soak up the Yorkshire air, you can also head out and explore the area. There is plenty to do no matter what takes your fancy. ​Fine dining, live music, old fashioned cinemas, dog walks, wild swimming, local breweries or vineyards - take your pick! Holmfirth & Penistone - The market towns of Holmfirth and Penistone are about a 10-15 minute drive. Holmfirth is picturesque, lots of restaurants and cafes, music venues and bars. Some specialist shopping and we highly recommend the Chocolate Box sweetie shop. Penistone is a traditional Yorkshire market town, with convenient supermarkets as well as cafes, restaurants and shopping. Yummy Yorkshire is also a local must visit, delicious ice-creams from the parlour perfect for a sunny afternoon, or full English breakfast on a chilly morning.​​ Trans Pennine Trail - The Trans Pennine Trail (TPT) near Penistone and Dunford Bridge offers a scenic and versatile route for walkers, cyclists, and horse riders. This section of the trail follows the old Great Central Railway line, providing a traffic-free path that winds through picturesque countryside and rolling moors. The trail is well-surfaced and gently rising, making it suitable for families and cyclists of all levels. Along the way, you'll find picnic spots, wildlife habitats, and even locally crafted sculptures. It's a fantastic way to explore the natural beauty of the area. Langsett Reservoir - Is a stunning water body located in South Yorkshire, near the villages of Langsett and Upper Midhope. It lies on the northeastern edge of the Peak District National Park and was constructed between 1898 and 1904. The reservoir is fed by the Little Don River and spans approximately 125 acres. The area around Langsett Reservoir offers breathtaking views, especially from the surrounding moorlands. Visitors can enjoy walking routes that weave through woodlands and open landscapes, providing opportunities for birdwatching and exploring the natural beauty. The reservoir is also popular among cyclists and horse riders, thanks to its bridleway network.
